Urgent messages from Alex

Confusion clouds her mind as she approaches the door to get a closer look. *Carol's Room.* The nameplate looks old, almost childlike. Her hand grazes the steel surface as she tries to piece together what’s going on. Why is her name here? Has she been here before? She doesn’t remember.

Curiosity gets the better of her, and she reaches to open the door. Just as she’s about to position herself, she senses someone approaching behind her. Turning around, she finds Alex standing there, his expression heavy, as though she’s committed some grave mistake.

**What are you doing here, Carol?** His signing is firm, his brows tightly knit.

For a moment, she feels like she’s intruding on his privacy by being here. But she frowns, straightening her stance, **What is this?**

She points to the door, her expression making it clear she wants answers. However, Alex steps toward her, blocking the door. **Please leave this floor. You’re not allowed to be here.**

Her eyes widen in shock. Something

    A soft but heavy sigh escapes Alex, who is waiting for even a minimal reaction from Carol when he mentions his family's plan to ask her to return to handle the company. But she stares at him blankly before signing: **What do you think I should do?** Alex didn't expect her to throw this question at him, and he looks away, indicating that he has no place to say anything. **Are you scared that you may have to drop out?** Alex flinches but remains silent. Tears well up in his eyes. Alex has always been independent, but studying at a prestigious university on his own isn't possible. She sighs and places her card on the table. **I want you to use it. Don't overuse it. Pay your tuition and keep studying. I will track your payment history so that once you get a job, you can pay me back.** **What?** Alex looks at her with wide-open eyes. **You don't want to return to the company?** Carol's expression seems to say, *Are you still asking that silly question?* But she shakes her h

    " Damien!" Ian Watson walks towards the car, his expression heavy and cold, " Don't disappoint me. Don't forget what you owe me!" Damien's expression shifts as he comforts himself in the seat. He is leaving the party at midnight, although he was supposed to stay over tonight. " Don't worry about it!" Damien responds in a cold tone, "Nothing can make me do it wrong!" " You are already married to the woman who took the woman I loved. So don't say that. You have changed, in a disappointing way!" " Ian! Enough with that! You are drunk!" Orion pulls him, " This is not the right timing to talk about it!" " No! This is the right time. This bastard dared to marry that Bitch and even let her take over the company that was supposed to be my woman. He betrayed us. He betrayed her. He doesn't deserve anything!" Ian shouts at Damien who calmly sits in the car. " Enough!" James snaps at him, " He is doing everything . Don't act like it's you who only lost her. We lost her too. Also it

  • Mr. Cripple And Mrs. Deaf : Twist Of Fate   She is understanding...??

    Some discoveries don’t require a dramatic coincidence. Carol stands there, staring at Damien without any expression. Her eyes observe as the color drains from his face. Slowly, she walks toward him—no expression, no sign language, and certainly no confusion visible. Damien tries to say something, perhaps a last-second explanation. He swallows hard, watching her approaching him. James looks like he’s scrambling for any excuse that might save the situation. After all, if Carol decides to throw Damien to the floor with one of her strikes, he’ll surely end up in a wheelchair. They both know how strong Carol is. But to their surprise, Carol stops in front of Damien, measuring their height. She rests her head on his chest and hugs him. Slowly, a smile appears on her face. James and Damien are left dumbfounded. Carol, standing at 5'5", continues to measure where her head reaches on Damien's tall frame, as if checking if she’s comfortable. Then, she steps back, looks up at him with her

    "This is all messed up." James runs his hands through his hair while sitting on the edge of the couch. The rapid beating of his heart feels almost audible. "You know that if she somehow learns about this, there's no going back!" "That's why she doesn't need to know or remember anything!" "But why?" James asks, confused. "Why did you decide to hide everything?" Damien doesn’t answer immediately as he shuts off the laptop. "Let’s talk about it later. I don’t know what she’s thinking... but I don’t feel good about her reaction. I would’ve preferred if she’d screamed and accused me of betraying her trust. But that expression... it’s terrifying!" James can’t deny he feels the same. Something about her isn’t right. "Did you tell her that you’ve asked her friends to give her some space for a while?" He waits for a positive response, but Damien’s silence leaves him stunned. "Not again!" James shakes his head in frustration. "I told you—if you want to have her permanently, you can’

    That night, he could say nothing. James insisted he sit down and talk to her before it was too late, then left the house. But unfortunately, Carol was busy planning to go on a date. Right now, Carol is typing on her laptop when Damien wheels himself in. Of course, he has to keep up his disguise in front of Lucy. But as soon as he closes the door, he stands up and walks toward her. Carol frowns a bit. She isn't used to the vibration of footsteps, but she knows she was right about that night. Damien was carrying her upstairs using the staircase. However, she remains silent and keeps noting something in a notebook. Damien hugs her from behind, pressing his lips against her skin in a gentle brush. She flinches. Her face turns red as she inhales his favorite perfume. **Don't disturb me right now!** she signs while pecking his cheek. Damien nibbles the spot until he gets her full attention. **What are you doing?** she asks, her face turning red. **What are you doing? Your husb

  • Mr. Cripple And Mrs. Deaf : Twist Of Fate   Phone Call

    2:30 a.m. Damien pulls into the hospital parking lot, his knuckles white as he grips the steering wheel. His chest feels tight, his breaths short and uneven. Sweat trickles down his pale skin, soaking the collar of his shirt. Exhaustion clings to him like a second skin, but the anxiety coursing through his veins is far more potent. He throws his suit jacket over his arm and bolts out of the car, not bothering to lock it. The hospital looms ahead, its bright lights a sharp contrast to the suffocating darkness of his thoughts. His phone buzzes in his pocket—a message from James with Carol’s room number. He doesn’t waste a second, heading straight for the inpatient ward. His heart pounds louder with every heavy footfall. Taking the stairs two at a time, his breath comes in ragged gasps. His mind races, replaying the call from the hospital over and over. "Mr. Crawley, your wife collapsed, and we need you here immediately." The words were enough to rip the ground from beneath him

  • Mr. Cripple And Mrs. Deaf : Twist Of Fate   Kidnapped

    James steps into the room, his eyes immediately drawn to the fragile figure of Carol. She’s hunched over in a chair, her hair disheveled and her face pale, clutching Aria so tightly it seems as though she fears the world might rip her daughter away. Two nurses hover nearby, their faces etched with concern, while the doctor stands to the side, flipping through a folder of reports. The air in the room is thick, tense, and suffocating. “What’s going on?” James demands, his tone firm yet tinged with worry. His eyes dart between Carol and the doctor. “Damien is on his way back. He told me to check on you two.” Carol doesn’t respond. Her body trembles visibly, silent tears streaming down her face. She clutches Aria even tighter, her lips trembling as she stares into the distance. James crouches in front of her, lowering his voice as he tries to get through to her. “Carol, please,” he says, his tone softer now. “What’s wrong? Talk to me.” But Carol remains silent, her anguish spilling ou

  • Mr. Cripple And Mrs. Deaf : Twist Of Fate   Powder-like substance

    Carol just says goodbye to Damien before leaving Aria with Alex and the female nanny who takes care of her. She already feels low without him. The day passes with work; nothing major happens. Since there’s a time difference between her and Eunice, they don’t talk much. But her other friends reach out to her as usual. After dealing with numerous clients, workers, and other activities, she feels far more exhausted than usual. Damien's presence has always been like a 24/7 therapist, and his absence makes everything feel heavier, even for just one day. Later, after returning home, feeding Aria, and spending time on self-care, Carol calls Damien. Their conversation is sweet and comforting. As days pass, Carol notices something unusual. The new nanny, Heather, seems fine, but Carol starts feeling weaker than usual. Aria, who usually loves sleeping and rarely cries, begins crying at night. Confused and worried, Carol consults a doctor, but they find nothing physically wrong with Aria

  • Mr. Cripple And Mrs. Deaf : Twist Of Fate   You are mine

    Somewhere in a casino, Harris is sitting on the counter whilst he's staring at the debt receipt. " Harris! The only way you can pay all the debt and keep gambling if you can get your parents' property. Don't you think it's high time to take action!" The owner of the casino when Harris has been staying for a while, suggests. He is doing the job of a bartender while watching Harris being drowned in an ocean of debts. Harris, staring at the debt he has, looks at him with a frown, " That bastard has owned everything. I can't even return home because of my criminal records!" Anger crawls under his skin as his face reddens with fury." Well, there are lots of ways to get what you want. If you want help, we can help, you know!" He smirks, " With violence, everything is possible!" Harris's expression brightens. Clutching the receipt of his latest loss in gambling, he leans into the chair, " That's a good idea, I think! I am the rightful owner of those money. So I will get them back!" The

  • Mr. Cripple And Mrs. Deaf : Twist Of Fate   Eunice left

    Carol leans against the doorframe, her tired eyes fixed on Eunice, who sits on the floor, rolling a toy car back and forth with Aria. The toddler’s laughter rings out, bright and carefree, clashing with the heaviness in the room. “You’re leaving?” Carol’s voice is soft, but the weight of her words fills the space. Eunice’s hand falters on the toy car for just a moment before she pushes it toward Aria again, forcing a smile. “Yeah. It’s a good promotion, Carol. And... I’ve always wanted to see the world outside.” Her smile wavers, not quite reaching her eyes. Carol steps further into the room, crossing her arms as she searches for the right words. “But... I’m not saying it’s the wrong decision, just... are you sure you don’t want to give it another try? Maybe James has been struggling with something—”“Don’t.” Eunice’s voice is calm but firm, slicing through Carol’s sentence. She turns away from Aria, who is engrossed in her toy, and looks at her friend. “Don’t go there, Carol. Not

  • Mr. Cripple And Mrs. Deaf : Twist Of Fate   She broke up

    As if the wind is knocked out of his chest, James Alexander sits frozen, watching Eunice cry in despair. Her tears streak down her face, her voice trembling with frustration. "This is it, James," she begins, her tone laced with exhaustion. "I’ve been trying to hold onto this relationship, but I’m the only one fighting for it. Do you even realize what that feels like?" James looks at her, his brow furrowing. "Eunice, I know I’ve messed up. I’m sorry, okay? I’ll do better." "You’re sorry?" She laughs bitterly, shaking her head. "You always say that, but nothing changes. I’m the one who calls you, the one who begs to meet, the one who says ‘I love you.’ What have you done, James? What effort have you made?" James opens his mouth but quickly closes it. He doesn’t have an answer. Eunice continues, her voice breaking. "I’ve never felt this tired in a relationship before. A few months, James, and I’m completely drained. This isn’t love. It’s one-sided torture." He leans forward,

  • Mr. Cripple And Mrs. Deaf : Twist Of Fate   I am not happy

    The culprit was caught soon. In the meantime, the closeness had turned into a strong friendship. Right now, it's Damien's 27th birthday party. Everyone is enjoying themselves. A few clients have attended the party, unaware that the Crawley family has grown close to the Martinez family. While everyone enjoys the evening, Carol is chatting with her friends, telling them about a new friend she made, when the door swings open, pushed by two security guards. "Carol!" Millie practically runs toward her, ignoring everyone in the room. She hugs Carol tightly and gives her a few kisses on the face. "I missed you." Eunice looks upset but curious about this woman. Like Carol, Millie avoids social media and reporters, so people don’t know who Mrs. Martinez is. "Who is that?" Katie asks. "Must be the new friend she’s been talking about all morning!" Sarah chuckles. Carol takes a deep breath and looks at her friends. "She’s my daughter-in-law!" Her friends stare at her in stunned

  • Mr. Cripple And Mrs. Deaf : Twist Of Fate   New friendship

    Who knew one incident could change so much in life? For Damien Crawley, that moment arrives as he leans against the doorframe, watching his wife, Carol, chatting away on FaceTime with none other than Millie Martinez. Millie, wife of Paul Martinez—Damien’s business rival—speaks animatedly, her laughter filling the room. Carol protected their son, Julian, five days ago, and since then, both of them have been talking about everything in their lives. While Martinez is still trying to get on his nerves, here his wife is having such a sweet friendship with the rival's wife. Damien isn’t particularly annoyed but can’t help wondering why Carol is friends with her. He crosses his arms and clears his throat, but Carol barely glances at him before turning back to her phone. “It’ll be close-knit,” Carol says, her tone cheerful as she discusses Damien’s upcoming birthday party. “Your family, my friends, and a few of Damien’s friends. It’s small, so don’t worry about bringing too many peopl

    Damien sprints into the hospital lobby, his heart pounding harder than it had during his last board meeting. His tie is loose, and he’s slightly out of breath. He scans the room like a hawk, his sharp gaze landing on Carol seated in a corner with a blonde-haired toddler in her arms. “Carol!” His voice echoes, startling a nurse nearby. He strides over, his face etched with worry. " Are you okay? What happened? Where is Aria?" Carol looks up, startled, and immediately begins signing with her hands: **Calm down, everything is okay.**Damien freezes, confusion replacing his panic. “Why are you signing? You’re not even anxious enough to forget how to speak!” He narrows his eyes at her, crossing his arms. “What did you do this time?” Caught, Carol stops mid-sign and bites her lip, her cheeks turning pink. “Fine,” she mutters aloud, glancing at the boy in her lap. “It’s not exactly what you think. I saved a kid.” Damien blinks, leaning forward. “A kid?” His voice rises an octave. “Wha
